You’re taking the utterings of keyboard warriors as reflective of reality?
Nah, if I remember right, those arrows use the poison from a tree frog’s skin, not something like a snake’s venom. So still poison!
That was my first thought!
…I think that might be less far-fetched. After all, our black VP is competing for her next job with a guy who’s a few oranges short of a basket…

There’s probably better sources, that’s just the first Google result.
That’s not what I’ve seen. The stories I’m familiar with usually involve defending those things where they already exist, not establishing them. Even in cases where that needs established, as often as not, they’re usually protecting someone else who embodies that ideal.
I’m sure there are stories similar to what you’ve described, but I don’t see that in the stories I’m familiar with.
It’s always seemed strange to me that earth never made any sort of meaningfull technological progress despite having access to a galaxy full of new tech.
This actually seemed reasonable to me - if alien tech is anything like ours, we lack the parts to make the parts to make the parts to make the tech, so we can’t mass produce any of it yet. And we’re a bit of a backwater - what resources we do have of galactic interest (vibranium, maybe?) isn’t for sale. So we make do with what scraps do find their way to earth.
Stories don’t need to be told, humans need to tell stories. That’s what makes us human, and is how we spread ideas like honor, justice, and even civilization itself.
Hero stories reinforce all of these ideas, and others besides.
…I would be very interested in seeing how you describe your hummingbirds!
I certainly hope that happens. But it’s not a reliable enough consequence to justify the currently low level of fines, which was how I read your earlier comment.
That seems like a pretty weak consequence, and not an intended one. Worse, it’s one likely to be least impactful for the worst offenders - a megacorp isn’t going to care much about fines, and the market won’t see any danger to their investment in them.

…it didn’t occur to them to even start learning Russian before they went?!
I’ve been trying to avoid soap labelled antibacterial for this reason, and it’s tricky to even find any that’s not labelled antibacterial.
Been wondering if they don’t just slap the label on any soap, because it could be considered antibacterial by its nature. Apparently not?
That’s a lot better than what I thought he’d be lining up…
As another perspective - it took me a moment or two to work out what was happening in the second picture, but then the whole tableau made sense to me!
Dead? Really? Cuz Portal and Minecraft are my kids’ top two games!
Need to be careful with this kind of thinking - that was the Dems’ attitude towards Trump during the 2016 election.
